It really depends on your devices and what you want to do with them.

What I’ve noticed so far is that the generic drivers on Linux seem to cover more functionality (eg, my mouse didn’t show battery status on windows without the proprietary drivers but it shows up in Linux), but if it’s not covered by that, then odds are support will be more limited or none on Linux unless it’s commonly owned.

Though depending on what kind of data your devices are dealing with, it might not be that bad to get it working. Like audio data is just a time series of amplitudes (though codecs can complicate that if you’re dealing with some digital format), input devices are usually some combination of button press events and axis updates (and controller vibrate is pretty much just a lower bitrate audio signal). Video can be more complicated, but there’s likely software that can understand whatever stream of data it gives off. But this all depends on patience and skill, and if you were the type to gravitate to something like that, you probably would have already switched.

I meant like births, as in even if you can enumerate every single individual, statistics can apply to future members that don’t yet exist.

And yeah, it’s been a while and I remembered that the proof didn’t depend on the population size but forgot that it assumed a large population size in the first place. I was wrong.

I think they meant all those coasts that are man made. Still think we should have said no when they wanted to extend Florida so far out.

Wow, the AI models have really improved! If I hadn’t seen the original, the only thing that would have given it away is the unusually long wing on the flag that isn’t the crying stars and stripes.

First one works better. Second one sets off my fake detector but the first one goes under the radar.

Games rely on more than just the OS API and even variation between Linux flavours or installed libraries on the same flavours can make compatibility difficult. My success rate at running games with a Linux native version is maybe 50% before I fall back to proton and the windows version. The consistency helps, though kudos to the developers who put in the effort to get their games working on Linux in general rather than just their particular systems.

The gpu library is a big one. There’s OpenGL, DirectX, and Vulkan (which is the successor to OpenGL) that I know of. Linux and windows support all three, in some form or manner, but afaik mac only supports OpenGL, which really holds back game development, especially with DX being the most popularly targeted one.

Though my info might be a bit dated because I dgaf about macs generally, just wanted to point out that the shared roots between mac and Linux don’t necessarily mean targeting one would make targeting the other easier in a meaningful way.

Maybe one day they’ll sell a dongle to play games (which is really just a live boot linux install).

Then any statistics you measure on that population might be fully accurate for those 100 but might be less able to predict what the next 100 will look like.

You can still measure stats with smaller groups, it just means the confidence interval is smaller. With 300, there’s a 95% chance your test results are close to reality. With 100 it might be more like 66%.

Lmao, so the LLM framework falls back to similar shit to what ALICE used?

So far so good, though we’ll see how my own time smoking and vaping catches up to me in the end.

And then you hear shit like living in a city is as bad for your lungs as smoking from all the car exhaust and figure “well at least I’m back down to just smoking risk instead of 2x smoking risk”. I am (hopefully) relatively healthier than I was when I did smoke, though unfortunately older.

Hope your health reflects your healthy choices well and that you haven’t gotten old in the meantime while seeing how it goes. :)

Lol I assumed OP meant mock as in “You want to go to tiktok? What a horrible site. You have bad taste.”

If I don’t like someone’s silly pictures and find them attractive in those, then I wouldn’t be dating them in the first place.

I stopped trusting those “good angles” when someone only had them on their tinder profile. If they didn’t include at least one pic showing a less than ideal angle, I assumed they were one of those skilled enough with makeup and photography that they could use their own pictures to catfish. Filters, too. Though these days, AI would also be in the mix.

Wait, sit and observe the voice in your head!? That’s just a part of the joke, right? Because that voice is you?

Yeah, and the flavours helped because it wasn’t as satisfying as cigarettes but you could have fun flavours to at least make it enjoyable and interesting enough to not just want a cigarette instead (or in addition).

Ah you thought they did it like:

if ( date == target_date ) { \ do the thing }

But it was really:

time_to_target = convert_date_to_time_to( target_date ); // always returns the closest time to whatever date you specify (even if the date doesn’t exist (March 31st does exist))
do_thing_in_x_time( the_thing, time_to_target );

Relatively safe != safe, it just means more safe than the thing being compared to. It’s likely still a big improvement over smoking.

There were people that raged at others wearing masks because they felt entitled to see their faces or some stupid shit.

Have you met people? There’s stupid fucks out there who take pride in being disgusting assholes who don’t wash their hands.

Not to mention his wow raiding consisted of a lot of screaming at people for fucking up and IMO any success was despite him not because of him.

Counter proposal: ban OP from this community along with anyone else who removes artist trademarks from comics they post.

There’s also chess960, where the positions of the pieces are randomized (with constraints). I like it because it removes memorization of positions as a factor.
